The research, which has been carried out by the University of Southern Denmark, asked midwives and obstetricians to complete a survey and participate in interviews.
Of the 1,237 professionals who responded, 85% said they had been involved in a traumatic childbirth. This was defined as where the baby or mother suffered severe, and possibly fatal, injuries related to labour and birth.
There were concerns about a fear of blame for patients, peers, or official authorities – and this was sometimes experiences – but the study revealed that inner struggles with guilt and existential considerations were more prominent to staff.
40% admitted they felt guilt following a traumatic childbirth, while a similar number (50%) said the incident made them think more about the meaning of life. A further 65% felt they had become a better doctor or midwife due to the incident.
The full study, which has been published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavia, can be viewed here.
